The Wife He Wants Back! Chapter 54
Valerie pov My confusion deepened as Hudson swiftly pulled out a chair from a nearby table to ours, invading my personal space. I quickly swallowed the water in my throat to stop him in his tracks and that was where it all went wrong. The water immediately clogged my throat, forcing a good measure of it into the wrong hole down my throat. My eyes bugged as a fit of coughs and gasping followed immediately, "Careful! You're going to get yourself hurt!" Hudson boomed and sprung up from his chair like a mother hen to get me a napkin. If my throat didn't feel like it were literally set on fire, I would have knocked down a couple of glass cups from the sheer force of his shouts. In seconds he was by my side, panicking and easing down gentle pats on my back while dapping every water droplet on my face. To say I was surprised by this whole display would be an understatement. Girl, I was stunned! He was just busy fuzzing over me, coupling my cheeks, feeling my temperature...like...l

VALERIE'S POV *Knock at the door* for some seconds, and a black haired young girl poked in, "ma'am?" I raised my head from my laptop to the angle the voice came from, smiling as I noticed it was the same girl from the IT department that I met earlier. "We're all set for you ma'am, at the conference room." She said, smiling gently. My ears perked up at her words, "Oh! Right!" I immediately moved to stand up but then I remembered the thing I kept on my desk, so I sat back down. "One minute please." I called out to the girl before going ahead to mumble absentmindedly as I shuffled through several paperworks on my desk. "I, ugh... I just need to... Erm..." I paused for a second, realizing what I was doing and quickly stole a glance at the door and sure enough she was still standing there, watching me. The moment our eyes met she smiled nervously, making me smile too before I resumed searching for it. This time more seriously and further off the desk. "Where is it... Where is... Wh

HUDSON'S POV Will it be strange if I said seeing my ex-wife was like a breath of fresh air?You know, like that feeling of when you've been stuck underwater for so long and then you finally get pulled out, the air rushing into your lungs suddenly feel so delicious that you could taste it? That's the feeling right there!I couldn't believe it honestly. Everything was happening so fast, I could hardly keep up with these new emotions going on inside of me these days. But one thing was clear though, 'I'm attracted to my ex-wife, Valerie.'Yes, that's what it was. Attraction.I maybe ignorant on some matters because I didn't want the burden that came with it but I wasn't a fool. I knew myself and behaviors better than anything, lying to oneself is like petting an open wound. You're too scared to apply gauze on it cause of the pain you might receive but at the same time, you give the injury space to be infected and eventually rot on that part of your body. Same thing with lying to yourse

HUDSON'S POV Huh?Unable to reach contact? "It's probably network issues, try again" James offered and I nodded in agreement, dialing the number again. "Network these days have been messy..." James voice faded as we listened to it ring after dialing."Sorry, you're unable to reach this contact please try again later. Thank you," Same robotic reply sounded through and we shared a knowing look.But instead of saying the thought that was already on both our minds, James said instead. "Maybe it's your phone, there's probably no signal in it. Try your other phone,"I heaved a breath and picked up my other phone beside a pile of documents on the table. My fingers felt heavy as I scrolled through a bunch of other unsaved numbers seeing as it was my business phone. I didn't save hers too but somehow I just knew which was hers and I dailed it.After spending nights upon nights in the darkness of my home office, with my fingers hovering over that very number, to dial it and hear her voice for

VALERIE'S POV "What the hell is wrong with this idiot?!" I questioned aloud, glaring at my phone for even letting the call go through. I should block this number as well, why is he even calling me?"So what if I blocked his lines?! It's my phone and my choice, I can do whatever I want with it!" I yelled at the phone, before moving to block the number he used to contact me while cussing under my breath,"Distasteful ignorant jerk ass!" So disrespectful and unapologetic about his actions that day at lunch, rather he wanted to use the same move again! Twice! "Not on my watch! What does he even think of me, huh? That I'm so dumb and foolish not to notice that he's trying to play smart?! Humph! Some intelligent man he is, Mama Joyce you're wrong I tell you!"This nigga is dumb as hell! And I'm done letting Dick heads like him have access to me. There, blocked! Let's see the next number you will use, partner," I sneered and turned my screen off, just in time to hear a deep throat clearing

VALERIE'S POV 4:55 PM, At Papa's house It has been a couple of hours since I switched off my phone to stop the incessant phone calls from that dick head Hudson, picked up the kids from school and even enjoyed lunch together before we headed for the 'family meeting' that was to be held right here, at the Hernandez Estate.The minute we arrived, Papa had immediately left me to the dogs using the kids as excuse. Last time I checked, they were enjoying fruits at the pool side just by the other side of the mansion. And so therefore, I was forced to 'bond' with my amiable aunties and uncle.Note the sarcasm there. The murderous stares I was receiving right now were farrrr from amiable, I'm telling you.Infact, just staring at them sent all the wrong type of signals to my brain. Signals that I should only be having when I'm faced with a serial killer, all my brain wanted me to do was run and hide. Just like I had always done when I was younger.It was unbelievable that the people I should

VALERIE'S POV Patricia's words seemed to catch Papa's ears though, cause he turned to face her, his gaze cold. "Oh? That means you lot don't help to ease her burdens, do you?" He asked, holding each of their gazes one by one. "No papa, we do!" Patricia argued, slightly touching his arm cause their seats were much closer than the rest of us. "Then why are you here laying foolish complaints instead of dealing with those arrogant employees that you employed?! Are trying to drag the company to the ground?" Patricia gasped at his words, pulling back her fingers. "Huh? Answer me!" He spat angrily, causing Patricia to jump in fright. "You better check your phone's, check the news, crosscheck with all your lame as connections! All the staffs you organized for that stupid protest are currently relaxing in jail! Jail Barbara, jail!" Papa spat, his tone mocking. All three of them shared weary glances before immediately reaching for their phones. "So you did it?" Papa asked, looking at all

Chapter 61VALERIE'S POV All throughout the ride home, my mind kept buzzing with what Papa had said. My boyfriend?How could Papa even think that?!I had three kids. Three 4 year olds to take care of plus a company! What time do I have to think about men?Pfft! Just ridiculous!Flashback to before the ride*****"Hey, what's wrong?" Papa asked, his cheesy smile instantly morphing to worry in a minute."Something up with your belly? Is it the juice?" He asked further as I slowly reduced to a moaning mess to the ground.The juice? Of course he would think it was the juice, and not what his information was doing to me. I couldn't even believe it. But I wasn't so concentrated on my phone earlier, or was I?Ugh, good heavens! I probably was.All those times I kept checking my phone, every notification or buzz, just to catch Hudson at the game he was playing.I had been blocking every line he used to call, hell I had been blocking every number a call came through with. I didn't even check i

HUDSON’S POV“Do you understand now?”“First, the man you wanted left you, Amelia left you, Ethan also did, and now… your own father has abandoned you.” her voice sounded softly, almost considerate but the underlying cruelty was hard to miss. A total contrast to the nonchalant expression on her face, like even speaking to the woman on phone was not worth wasting her energy.It was enchanting, to say the very least.“No one wants you; no one wants to be with you.” She whispered slowly, “You will die alone, Charlotte. A long, lonely death. Remember that,”And just like that, the call ended. The phone sliding from her ears, every movement smooth like she had finished the deal right then and there, which she had though. The bait had been set.The bait we both agreed upon after Ethan showed up at our doorstep, with information about Charlotte. A very daring attitude from a person with his record of betrayal. Ever since he attempted to kidnap Valerie back then, he had gone off record. Which

CHARLOTTE'S POV“Oh yeah?” she sneered, sounding totally unbothered as I continued to brew with anger. “What will you do to Drake then? You see he made a deal with me; to hand over all his dealings with my family, testify against you in court, revealing all the many corpses that was buried underneath the garden in his house for you.”What?“What are you talking about you bitch, I killed no one!” I responded, my breathing shaky as memories of how so many dead bodies were used as fertilizer for the rose garden back home. Dead bodies that were as a result of several tortures and beatings given to men doing business with the heartless man that was my father!It was all him!How come this bitch was saying something else here? How did she even know about the bodies?!“Those corpses are as a result of the many murders that you have done over the years, Charlotte!”“That’s not true!” I argued angrily, losing my cool.“But Drake said it is, and he is testifying against you in court!” she insis

CHARLOTTE’S POV“What the hell are they doing?”“Why are they even together at the hospital? Just what the fuck is this?!” my voice resounded everywhere, bouncing off the walls in the apartment I currently occupied with Raymond.But could you blame me? I was pissed off!Pissed off by the stupid ass video that was been displayed on the tv screen! A video of what supposedly had happened between my man and that bitch Valerie today! Or was this some sort of trick? That bitch Valerie was pulling a stunt again?But even if she did, how did Hudson come onboard with this?! To do this with her! Act like they were all perfect and okay, when I knew they were not! They most definitely were not! They shouldn’t even be!Valerie’s schemes have been exposed! Hudson knows all about this now, I was sure of it! I watched him drive off angrily that night, away from their new place. He didn’t go home that day I sent those cameras, they had a fight. I was sure of it!So why instead of packing his things an

HUDSON’S POVSilence settled between Val and I as we walked all the way to the ward. Our fingers still interlocked, until finally we reached the very door that held Miley’s excited laughs behind it. And then I stopped, facing Valerie right then.“What money?” I asked, but she simply blinked. Probably not expecting my question, but I heard the conversations between her and her aunties anyways. Or at least part of it, since they were already speaking before I arrived there. So…“The money your aunt was referring to” I explained, my voice calm as I waited. “She said something about a stolen money that was in Mason’s name, and you were going to be arrested for it if they called the cops. What was that all about?”“Oh,” was all she said, a deep sigh following right after. “It’s… it’s a bit personal,”Huh?“Personal?” I repeated, not believing she was about to do what I thought she would do. “How personal is this that I can’t even know about it? Mason is involved here, that’s my son, Valeri

HUDSON’S POVComing back home was nothing short of what I had expected. My kids gathered were together, happily playing games, absolutely oblivious of the current happenings surrounding me and their mom. As far as they were concerned; daddy had to take a little trip to check out a building site.A strategy Nanny Beth took to save them from the hassle of wondering why I wasn’t home for 2 days. But aside my kids, everything else seemed fine. The maids, Nanny (Whether or not she knew, she didn’t behave like it at all. But assuming she didn’t know anything will be highly stupid on my part cause Valerie tells her almost everything despite their huge age difference!) but above all, there was no Valerie.I wouldn’t lie to you, a part of me immediately thought of going back to the house outside the city, to check if she had still gone back there. But I just held back. Forcing myself to focus on taking a nice shower, eat a really satisfying meal and then catch up with my kids.The last time I
The Wife He Wants Back! CHAPTER 293
VALERIE’S POV“I-I’m truly sorry,”“I am- am so sorry for lying about that day,” I apologized, my voice breaking as I tried to keep my tears at bay. “I shouldn’t have lied! I should’ve… I didn’t know you and the kids were at the office, I didn’t know you guys wanted to surprise me so we could have lunch together. It’s all my fault! I’m sorry…”“Of course you are. You are sorry now, Valerie.” His voice sounded in the air, bitter but yet so calm. Unlike his explosive self that I had seen that day in the secret room. “But you weren’t sorry when you just lied to both me and the kids that day, running off to go clear evidences of your actions for fear that someone would get to it first before you do. Maybe someone already got to them-Charlotte had! She did send a few cameras after all; I’m guessing that is what got you agitated and also what had been bothering you days before the kids and I even went to your office!”“No! That’s not it at all,” I rushed to explain, “I wasn’t bothered about
The Wife He Wants Back! CHAPTER 292
CHARLOTTE’S POV“What? What did you say?”“They are still under the same roof? My Huddie is still living in that house? With her? with bitch Valerie?!"He simply nodded in confirmation, amplifying the horror I just heard. “How?!” I blasted, loosing my shit right then and there. “How is any of that even possible?! He should’ve left her by now! They should be fighting and him not forgiving what she has done! How can they still be together? That’s impossible!”“It is possible!” Raymond insisted, his tone similar to mine. “I saw him myself! I saw Hudson drive into that mini city of his- the Sky Walls! I saw him, and even waited for over an hour to see if he would come back out, but he didn’t! The man simply went home to his woman and kids, get over him kiddo. We need to leave the country before things get out of hand!”“No,” I responded, not wanting to believe a word he said.“Kiddo, You-“No! I said no!” I boomed, smashing the glass of water I was supposed to take my meds with. “I’m not

VALERIE’S POV“He just suffered from a mini panic attack, ma’am”“Given his age, attacks like this could often lead to stroke, full blown heart attacks, or even death on the spot!” The doctors voice resounded in my ears, sending yet another terrible ache throughout my temples. It has been this way since we took Papa to the hospital. And by we, I meant myself and Babara.Patricia came along too but quickly left after hearing he was still breathing and alive. Davis didn’t even come at all. Displaying their exact feelings towards their own father. Making me wonder even more that; what would have happened if I had already driven out of the estate before he collapsed today? What would have become of my Papa? Would he have- would he have really died? Just like that? Because his own children were too busy fussing over him instead of hurrying to get him to the hospital immediately?!“We have managed to stabilize his blood pressure for a bit, but I would advise no more shocking news to be brou

HUDSON’S POV“Daddy is making dinner, yay!” Miley's excited voice filled the air.“Yup!” I concurred, enthusiastic as I turned around to face the kids- my guests. “Good evening, pretty princesses and handsome princes! You can call me chef of sweet meals, and I will be preparing dinner!”“Yay!” Aby clapped happily as I introduced myself, smiling as she looked into the camera.“Since when did daddy become a chef? Do they learn that in business school too?” Mason asked curiously, looking around for answers. So typical of Mason, linking stuff around and asking questions as soon as they popped in his head.“No sweetie, no one learns cooking at business school.” Her sweet voice sounded in the air, answering Mason’s question. And in no time her face came into view, her smile flawless as she angled the camera to capture herself as well. “Daddy knows nothing about cooking, which is why I am here recording this moment! First time ever for the popular Hudson Rodriguiez to be in the kitchen! We ha
